Heirlooms of the Tide

[Intro]
[Verse]
The fog is thick and grey
The ship has gone astray
We pull the heavy line
This cargo's yours and mine
The hull is red with rust
In sisters we will trust
We climb the wooden stair
With salt spray in our hair
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the naval bell
Breaking through the spell
Pull the rusted chain
Through the freezing rain
[Chorus]
Heave away the heavy gold
Stories that were never told
Bring the silver back to shore
We don't need the war no more
Salt and iron, grit and bone
Finding our way back home
[Post-Chorus]
Heave away (Heave away)
Home today (Home today)
[Verse]
A locket in the hold
Wrapped in silk and gold
The maps of towns forgot
We tie the final knot
The djembe starts to beat
The victory is sweet
We claim the stolen past
We're coming home at last
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the naval bell
Breaking through the spell
Pull the rusted chain
Through the freezing rain
[Chorus]
Heave away the heavy gold
Stories that were never told
Bring the silver back to shore
We don't need the war no more
Salt and iron, grit and bone
Finding our way back home
[Hook]
Row, sisters, row
Where the cold winds blow
Row, sisters, row
Back to long ago
[Bridge]
The ocean takes its toll
It tries to keep your soul
But we have found the key
To set the history free
The fiddle starts to cry
Underneath the winter sky
We hold the line together
Through the stormy weather
[Chorus]
Heave away the heavy gold
Stories that were never told
Bring the silver back to shore
We don't need the war no more
Salt and iron, grit and bone
Finding our way back home
[Post-Chorus]
Heave away (Heave away)
Home today (Home today)
[Outro]
